It would. > Can you show an example of the necessary syntax? Just put the variable assignment in the file, it is sourced by bash when the ebuild is parsed, so most things that can go in an ebuild can go here. Usually it is used to override settings or set EXTRA_ECONF but you can use it to redefine the ebuild functions. Some people put a custom src_unpack() in here when they want to apply a patch, rather than putting a modified ebuild in an overlay. -- Neil Bothwick Picard: 'What do the sensors say Mr Data?'
